Are you experiencing frustrating electrical issues in your Saturn Vue or another compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a security system that won’t let your car start are all common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of perplexing problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 10382479, is the reliable, cost-effective solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process.

Simply provide us with your VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software updates for your exact vehicle configuration. This ensures a seamless installation process and proper communication with your vehicle’s other electronic systems.

- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A relearn procedure for the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Because we program the module to your VIN, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. However, as with any BCM replacement, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures for the airbag or brake systems, which can be done with a capable diagnostic tool.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it to the notes section during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email with the information.
Will this BCM fit vehicles other than the Saturn Vue?
Yes, absolutely. This BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Chevy Impala, GMC Acadia, Cadillac DTS, Chevy Express vans, and more. Please check the detailed fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific model and year.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-installation procedures?
If your vehicle requires a specific relearn and it is not performed, you may have a persistent warning light (like the airbag light) or a feature that does not function correctly (like the brake lights). We highly recommend performing any necessary procedures for safety and full functionality.
Do I need to send my original BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you can keep your original module without any additional fees or hassle.
